Idiopathic short stature

Supplements studied for idiopathic short stature.

Overview

Lysine is the only supplement indexed for idiopathic short stature (1 study; WA 44; low effect size, low evidence, medium trust). Idiopathic short stature refers to reduced height without an identified medical cause, and lysine has been tested in a single clinical study.

The available summary states there is not enough evidence to determine whether lysine has any benefit for growth in this condition. With only one low-rated trial and no demonstrated effect, supplement evidence here is insufficient. See the evidence review below.
